[Verse 1]
Like the other girls before me
Tuck us in and tell us stories
So we don't have to think about it (don't think about it)
Steal the fruit inside it’s rotting
Take a bite, tell me I'm lying
It's better not to think about it (don't think about it)
[Pre-Chorus]
Gimme white lies
Gimme one more
Gimme one more
Gimme white lies
Gimme one more
Gimme one more
[Chorus]
You're afraid of what you see
Victim of, this is not the voice in my head
You're depraved, soak into the bone
God forgave, wash away what's left of my blood
[Verse 2]
It's a curse it's not a blessing
That I can see what you want me to see
But I don't want to think about it (can’t think about it)
[Pre-Chorus]
Gimme white lies
Gimme one more
Gimme one more
Gimme white lies
Gimme one more
Gimme one more
[Chorus]
You're afraid of what you see
Victim of, this is not the voice in my head
You're depraved, soak into the bone
God forgave, wash away what's left of my blood
[Bridge]
Father, It's easy to tell you what you wanna hear
It's easy to make myself just smaller
It's easy to pray that fate won't interfere
I'll disappear, disappear, disappear
[Chorus]
You're afraid of what you see
Victim of, this is not the voice in my head
You're depraved, soak into the bone
God forgave, wash away what's left of my blood
[Outro]
You're afraid of what you see
God forgave, wash away what's left of my blood
